Usually when editing images, the factors that are primarily concerned are Sharpness, Textures, Clarity and Resolution, because they have the ability to  re-add details to an image. However, all that the supplier can do on a technical level is to increase the contrast of specific frequencies, to enhance the edges of the frequencies, and to create the illusion of detail. Frequency is described as how often the tone changes in a given area. High frequencies have a lot of tonal variation in a smaller area of ​​the picture, while low frequencies do not. Be aware that going too far with these sliders can create too much noise or contrast, so a subtle stroke goes a long way.

How to test and practice advanced features in Lightroom

You can test and practice these new features with Camera's RAW Filter in Photoshop, and once you get to know how they work, it will be easy for you to know how to use them in Lightroom CC and Lightroom Classic.

For practice, you can convert your image into a Smart Object. This will allow you to work smoothly, the original image is not destroyed, and you can revert your changes if needed. Once a Smart Object is created, you navigate to Filter => Camera RAW Filter. In this new window, you will be able to apply Texture, Clarity and Dehaze in the Basic Panel. You can click on Detail Panel to bring up Sharpen, which is one of the most classic options.

  • Sharpening: This is a detail enhancement option used mainly in Photoshop and Lightroom. This tool increases the contrast and visibility of the edges in the entire tonal range of your images. If you magnify your photo at 100%, you will find that high sharpness results in a lot of image noise, resulting in a "sharper" image when zoomed out. However, you should use the Masking feature so that you can apply the tool to the edges of an image, rather than using it entirely.
  • Texture: This is a monolithic editing feature and increasing the contrast in the medium frequency regions. This option is probably the "most natural" of the rest and is often used when you retouch the beauty.
  • Clarity: This option increases the contrast with the middle areas of the image, but it also driplessly changes the saturation. The implementation of this feature is often more difficult than the others, so the user needs to be very careful.
  • Dehaze: This is a feature that moderately increases contrast and saturation. The purpose is to eliminate mist, so this option is only reasonable when you need to effect drastic changes to the colors in the image.
Regardless of which tool you use, the best way to apply it is to use the adjustment brush in Camera's RAW Filter (you can check the Masks box to visually aid you in this process). By this way, you can paint in areas where you want to add the effect, for optimum precision when making your image appear sharp.
